Instead of a single editable region, you could try using 3 optional regions,
each with the code/structure you want to offer, and assign appropriate
editable region(s) inside each of the optional regions. Then your
content-adding users would simply choose, from Template properties, which
optional region they want to use, and drop in their content.
I've never done this, but I *think* it would work.

This might work, but if there are multiple options, in multiple places, it
would get very complex in a hurry.
I frankly dont think it would be worth the effort to maintain.

Well, it may or may not be suitable for the OP's intended purpose -- but I
don't think it's all that complex. Four optional regions, each containing
one or two editable regions (image region and text, or text only). The user
picks one to display from the Template properties menu, drops in their
image, enters their text, and they're done.
What's so complex about that?

The instance you describe is not so complicated, although the template page
becomes quite cluttered as the optional regions are all displayed. I often
use a similar technique with image-based menus for selecting the down button
state. I guess my use of complex was more directed at 'visually complex'
than at 'intellectually complex'. Nevertheless, I think it's a solution
worth investigating....
